That's everything they do I do believe.

Similar but more confidence.

And ignoring all self doubt and imposter feelings has made my career way less stressful.

Maybe hard work has gone out of style?

Yesterday I poured over two companies documentation. About 200 pages of their API docs only to find:

Dozen of typos. Errors in versions. Conflicts in examples. Broken examples.

I barely invest in this much reading but this time I did because I was trying to deliver and sure enough I'm able to benefit our entire product because of this effort.

No. Just a TV and zapper.

I am building just that. A few weeks off.

People like you exist and do stuff like that and yet no one has an upgraded version of the NES Zapper after all these years.

Funny thing no one talks about. Maybe theory. Probably not.

The Sacramento river, if flooded by say the dam failure of Oroville, could reach Stockton. If that happens the city would be a foot or two underwater.

Little does anyone know there are contingency plans to literally blow the levees along the river and flood the nearby (mostly) farming land.

I get the hate or suspicion. I just see it as one more level of abstraction.

We get user requests in a language and then translate that to a database language and that's translated to a computer language which is then translated to hardware languages which then eventually does something at an atomic level. And then the reverse happens to generate Red or Green dashboards.

As for accuracy, nevermind existing changing requirements or incomplete chat responses.

I'm looking forward to the lazyboy coding sessions.

I have decided to undertake a complete revamp of one of my projects by exclusively utilizing AI-generated content, and there are a few compelling reasons behind this choice. Firstly, the outcome is remarkably versatile and outperforms my own contributions. Secondly, I have no reservations about openly sharing the code with others. And lastly, the process of infusing each function and package with my own touch of visionary flair has proven to be an immensely enjoyable pursuit.

Now entirely possibly to replace social media functionality.

If only I knew JavaScript......

Being a father of a toddler has taught me that patience is a type of pain tolerance.

If I can be patient longer than my toddler can inflict "pain", I win.

Articles and headlines with TLAs without initial definitions are AAF.

Prompt trainers and tweakers and optimizers will probably replace the SEO types.

I'm terrified of a world where I ask, what beverage will be served on Mars, and the answer will be engineered to be given as Coca-Cola is a popular drink possibly available on Mars, or right now. Would you like it delivered?

Every device in each room has a different trigger wake word. That eliminated them being triggered by proximity.

Then each smart device has a unique name based upon their function. Dog names or primary user.

Pairing by voice is also helpful.

Without understanding all the context, why not just serve files directly from your smartphone? You can approve your own contact list and share keys.

Yes, of course bandwidth is a concern, but then again there should be our way to monetize, and that's entirely possible using direct payments which already exist.

A little bit of cashing, CDN, and your phone as the initial file server. Tag a photo or video has shared.

Really it's just an RSS feed and CDN.

Unless you can confirm the keyboard is not compromised, no amount of security matters.

Graffiti?

My question is always, what are you trying to accomplish? If you don't want someone to know who you are, why would anyone listen to you? Considering AI, voice and text, how do I know I'm talking to you the you I want to talk to?

In the past when I worked for people with questionable ethics they would often just schedule a lunch and discussing a noisy restaurant their dealings. If they had adversarial contacts, they would have lawyers send letters.

Public private keys are great yet there's still no way to verify the source if the key is compromised.

I suppose, if I really wanted to send a message to someone, I would encode the message, with a shared secret or use of language, acting as a signature, and they would know it as me.

My family members have verbal and nonverbal cues, noises, phrases that will tell them they're in danger or to bring a weapon or if they are under duress.

I recently received my text message from an unknown number. I knew exactly who it was. I had the context and history allowing me to validate that the only person who would message me as such is a fellow HN reader.

No,I don't think so. There are times when you ask a question, and the person will condescend, in the positive sense, and speak at a level below you. I prefer to ask when I am teaching where I should start. I'll explain very quickly the basics, if they're familiar, I'll jump the next level. Until I reach the depth of their understanding, I will skip over foundational concepts.

Statistical fallout of unexpected words droppings.

We humans call it "misspeaking".

Speak quickly, often enough, and without sufficient training and yule misspeak.

Imagine being able to ask questions and get answers back based upon understanding, and not upon a curriculum or agenda. I have found this method to allow me to consume information much faster while skipping over the often tedious topics.

I want to disagree but thanks be to the lack of agreed definitions I will agree.

I have multiple clocks for time zones and multiple screens, computers.

Oh it's lunch? I've trained myself not to look at the clock even going as far as putting them just outside of my field of vision.

As mentioned the quality is amazing.

I've been playing with them for thirty years. Same set thirty years ago has the same quality and matches perfectly to the identical pieces purchased today.

Despite different types and audiences the quality remains.

Forgetting is a wonderful gift. "remember no more" the low parts of a relationship is a goal.

I didn't click but thought "why would you want to log your mouse movements? Analyze them to what end? I suppose you could automate or infer something from the trails? Number of clicks? Keyboard to mouse frequency, time spent.

Then started working though the logging, insights while reading the comments.

Pressure sensitive mouse buttons may be helpful. Same with haptic feedback when dragging over heavier buttons.

I have found that this applies to many Crafts.

Cutting wood is easy. Simple really. Crafting an attractive and functional chair requires discipline. Designing it? Brilliance.

I prefer to think that the most attractive people are those who are most relaxed.

Every word is a mapping of meaning, no? Hunger is universal yet every tribe has a different word. Audio, visual, physical actions represent hunger.

Map the 70 emotions, dozen tenses, handful of modifiers and suddenly the only missing variables of state and desired state will bring about a framework to allow universal translation.
